THREE Best Exercises To RELIEVE Your Vertigo | Physical Therapist Explains

Most of the time, BPPV is the go-to first thought when people think of vertigo. This is the type of vertigo that occurs when the crystals in your inner ear that are responsible for determining your position in space get out of whack. When this happens, they can create that spinning sensation when you move. But BPPV is NOT the only type or cause of vertigo. And oftentimes, these other causes and the techniques to manage them are overlooked by those who look first to BPPV.

So today we are going to look at all of the exercises we have in our physical therapy arsenal to manage vertigo, regardless of the cause.
Exercises:

Tentorium Membrane Stretch:

Vestibular Ocular Reflex (VOR) Exercises:

Most people understand pain, almost nobody knows the suffering caused by vertigo. It’s horrendous, it makes you feel like you’re about to lose your mind, forgetting who you are.
Shout out to anyone experiencing it: you’re not alone, it won’t last forever and you’re so strong! ❤

Your video. I did all the exercises a few times. Within 24 hours the vertigo was gonzo. Thank you! Thank you so much. I had a concussion in 2005. Got a simple cold a few weeks ago. Dehydrated myself by accident, then vertigo followed. This video was life changing for me. Thanks! I wish I could send you money for what this video did for me.

I need to tell everybody that I had severe vertigo. Wim Hoff breathing exercise took care of it almost immediately. I am amazed and so grateful.

[joeechegaray]

I am so relieved to have found this video and everyone's comments. Thank you all, I feel like I am not alone in this. Hoping I feel better soon.

[loislyons]

I am going through this right now. It is so debilitating. Went from active and healthy one day, to hugging the walls in order to walk. Will try these exercises. Thank you so much.

I woke up in the middle of the night with positional vertigo and turning over in bed felt like I was going to spin out of control. My eyes were jumping and the whole room felt like it was going in circles. I’ve had this before so I knew what was going on. I did your ear stretching exercises and it immediately helped. I actually heard and felt the “pop”. I can turn my head now with no dizziness. Thank

This has totally ruined my life 😭😭😭😭 I just want to feel normal again

[snazenikki]

I’ve been wanting to thank you for awhile now. This video changed my life. I was getting vertigo about every 8 weeks for years. I also got an ear ache on the same side I was getting vertigo. I didn’t realize they were related. Whenever I start getting an ear ache I do your ear pulling exercises. It gets rid of the ear ache and I have haven’t had vertigo since!!! It’s been about 10 months! I can’t thank you enough!

I am absolutely shocked this worked. I've been dealing with on and off vertigo for 5 or so years. It usually does not last more than 1 day before I go back to normal but recently it has gotten worse. I was unable to lay down at all because the room would spin. I did this excercise 3 times. Extremely difficult the first time trying to maintain position when everything is spinning but by the 3rd time I noticed there was nearly no dizzyness left. I went to lay down in bed like normal and nothing. No dizzyness at all. If you are worried about having to trigger symptoms during the excercise start out by staying in position as long as you can before its too much then just keep repeating. It genuinely works and I'm so damn happy I found this video. Thank you so much.

Oh my god...that first exercise is a life changer.... putting my fingers in my ears and moving my could feel it straight away. The spinning stopped...now to see if the nausea goes away today ... thanks so much

Quick up date... within 30 minutes I was out walking the dog, nausea almost gone as well... amazing

[simplybeautyful]

The fact that I had HIGH doubts this would work & you just completely healed me 😢… You have no idea how happy you ( & YT) have made me & how truly grateful I am. Like, I’ve really been struggling w/this vertigo for like 6 months now, in & out the hospital just to be sent home w/no results. It got even worse after I caught Covid & all it took was a little eye exercise. This speaks volumes in so many ways about healthcare… Then the Drs want to tell you to stay off Google, but Google is what led me to learning about VRT, which led me to YT, which led me to YOU, which led me to being free of vertigo!! I thank you so so much sir for this information as I really thought my health was declining & I was officially growing old at the age of 36! 😩…You are very appreciated bc I feel like my young energetic self again, so for that, you have earned yourself a new subscriber! Thank you & God bless! ❤️🙏🏾

[mariasteele]

Thanks so much. I had vertigo and causing cerebellum stroke. I am alone right now. My husband passed away last June and your lesson really helps me a lot

[musiclady]

I get scared when I start getting dizzy because it feels like I am going to pass out. I live alone so I am afraid to do these exercises without someone being with me. But I will try them when I can find someone to help me. Thank you!

[gracebug]

After doing your the steps in this video 2 times and let me tell you both times were very difficult but ( I was encouraged because you said I would be okay even though it was scary) no more Thank you so very much!

[mellmoo]

I’ve been having dizziness and feeling lightheaded for a week now for the first time in my life. I thought that maybe it’s my anxiety triggering it but these exercises have helped me

[sensorysoothe]

Had the feeling of being on a boat for over 2 years. Stuff like this helped me a lot!

[Eowyn]

This man is, by far, the best on YouTube. Straight to the point, thorough, and wonderfully easy to understand... about the causes and the exercises.
(Far better than the two men who begin their vids saying they're the best.)

[gracebug]

I've been strugging with Vertigo for about 2 months! This helped me!! Thank you! You saying, 'don't freak out its okay', made a huge difference for me. It can be kind of scarry when you are constantly in the spinning stages. Thank you so very much!

[veronxska]

Saving this for later. I experienced this two nights ago and it was the worst feeling. I was so terrified I thought I was dying. Right now I just stopped in the middle of my workout since it triggered the vertigo again

Edit: This technique worked! Didn't experience vertigo again after doing it 💯

[lilibethcruz]

Good morning Dr. JUN. I was diagnosed by my Dr d other day of vertigo. She prescribed 30 tablets of bethahistine, 2 x daily.. But when I searched this vertigo exercise and applied just now I feel relieved.. Thank you Doc for sharing to us your video.. God bless you
